▪ Spanish-Jewish poet
born c. 1170, , Spain
died c. 1235
man of letters, last representative of the golden age of Spanish Hebrew poetry. He wandered through Provence and also the Middle East, translating Arabic poetry and scientific works into Hebrew.
His version of the Guide of the Perplexed of Maimonides is more artistic if less accurate than that of Ibn Tibbon. His skillful adaptation of the difficult Maqāmāt of al-Ḥarīrī, under the title Mahberot Ithi'el, encouraged him to compose original Hebrew maqāmahs entitled the Tahkemoni, on which his fame primarily rests. His writing is characterized by its rich vocabulary and remarkable linguistic dexterity.
